The Doubtful Guest -- Edward Gorey

A vaguely sinister comedy of manners by beloved artist Edward Gorey Told in a set of fourteen rhyming couplets, <em>The Doubtful Guest</em> is the story of a solemn, mysterious, outdoor creature, dressed rather ordinarily in sneakers and a scarf, who appears on a winter night at a family's Victorian home and never leaves again. Gorey's eerie and charming illustrations accompany the verses, making this an enjoyably strange (and strangely enjoyable) read for all ages.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Edward Gorey<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Design<br><b>Published:</b> 06/15/1998<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.26lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 4.78h x 7.26w x 0.32d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780151003136
